The Dynastic Republic of Leocardia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Southern Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 27.675 billion Leocardians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kika Mana. The average income tax rate is 5.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Leocardian economy, worth a remarkable 4,804 trillion Leos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 173,606 Leos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Leocardian flag can be displayed, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Leocardia's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is to worship the Southern Leader.

Leocardia is ranked 4,796^th in the world and 297^th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
